Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

hi there i'm using fedora core 1 and samba-3.0.7-2 and am trying to mount a samba share as a user but i can't seam to get it to work, i've followed all the instructions i can find and made my fstab file like this.

i ran rpm -qa | grep samba to find out what if any samba services i have and it came back with 'samba-common-3.0.7-2.FC1' but when i ran locate smbmnt and smbumount i couldn't find those commands so maybe i don't have smbfs support, can you tell me how to get it?

hey , for smb mounts, its somewhere, smb.conf, over there is another file, for mounts
do smbmount works? i used that and i had a strange access.
from the linux box i looked all the shares in the local net, and then share them back

lol. Freebsd is not that hard. I have never configured xfree86 or xorg in linux(i just used default file). But in freebsd i configured them sucessfully by hand. Freebsd's documentation is great. Explains everything. Ports are great.
